Wash VitaJuwel water bottles thoroughly before first use. The glass bottle itself is dishwasher safe. The gempod and caps are NOT dishwasher safe. To clean, unscrew gempod from bottom cap. Wash parts by hand with warm, soapy water. Allow all parts to dry completely. Securely, but gently, re-assemble parts. DO NOT open the specially sealed gempod. After extensive use, water products can develop limescale, simply use lemon juice or vinegar essence to remove. We suggest cleaning your bottle at least every 2-3 days. When filling your Vitajuwel water bottle, run water directly into the top. Do not let water run over edges of the opening or water will accumulate in the groove between the glass and bottom gempod cap giving the impression that it is leaking. If water has run over, put the top cap on and simply turn the bottle upside down to let the excess water out.

SAFETY: Handle all your VitaJuwel water bottles with care, they are precious. Treat your products as you would any other glassware. Avoid impacts. Do not freeze or microwave. If any damage occurs to your VitaJuwel water bottle, stop usage immediately. Keep away from young children.

Vitajuwel water bottles are designed by Ewald Eisen and VitaJuwel in the German Alps. The Vitajuwel water bottle’s patented design incorporates a lead-free glass GemPod hand blown in the Czech Republic and filled with fairly traded, semi-precious, tumbled gemstones. Vitajuwel's durable glass bottle is certified lead-free, borosilicate glass. The top and bottom stainless steel caps contain a BPA-free plastic lining and silicone washers.
